Crystal XP

Version: 0.21 prebuild

PLEASE READ

Pros: This is important to know before installing this software. This should only be used by experienced users. There are some flaws with it. It may screw up your pc if you don't do it correctly. This software does work properly except the first time used. When I turned it on it worked nice until i moved the recycle bin from the lower corner b/c the start menu was transparent. I moved it once and it copied itself over and over again every time I moved it. To fix this deactivate it and change you wallpaper a couple of times. This should fix it. Then the moment you change it back you should soon realize that it puts a black box around your icons. To fix this do the above step and then turn it off and put your icons so they don't show on your desktop, only on task bar. Then turn it on again, also wright down the hot keys for easy transparency management.

Cons: Hard to use, must know what your doing, can screw up your pc if you give it the chance.

Just dont, read this to find out why

Pros: First of all there are safer ways to speed up your pc. For internet speed up, i recommend google web accelerator, great free software if your a gamer, and als oincrease you total paging files on your pc.

Cons: Just dont use it it ruins your processor. All this program and many others like it do is they spped up your pc but you pc wont last as many years.

Safari

Version: 3.1

Its not that bad its just UGLY

Pros: Its not bad but it sure is ugly. If you want to try something that looks cool try Mozilla Firefox 2 with the skin theme named: Aero Fox, that looks good. But BE AWARE that when the new Firefox 3 is out of the beta stages it looks like safari also. So i suggest that you get the following internet browsers: Mozilla Firefox 2. And Internet explorer 8 when it is out of the beta stages. IE 8 looks cool and futuristic.

Cons: It just looks like $h!*. It, along with Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta, look horrible.
